No wonder Heather Mills is unwilling to agree to a divorce settlement including a gagging order: she’s reportedly working on a biopic film about her life and relationship with Paul McCartney.

After Friday’s settlement deadline passed, Heather was spotted arriving at JFK airport in New York over the weekend and is said to have met with a film writer and producer about taking the project forward.

A source close to Heather told the Daily Mail: “Heather has been working for some time on the biopic. Of course it had all been shelved while she thought they were heading for a settlement.”

“But the script was dusted off pretty rapidly over the weekend. She had wanted Heather Locklear to play her. She now feels someone with slightly more credibility like Reese Witherspoon should play her. Heather wants an unknown to play Paul.”

“Heather sees this film as the tragic and empowering story of her life - a young model who gets run over and loses her leg, overcomes her difficulties and marries her prince. But the most interesting part of the tale will be the dark goings on between the couple behind closed doors.”

Heather is also said to be arranging high profile interviews with Larry King and Oprah Winfrey while in the US and sources claims she “will not hold back” when it comes to discussing her marriage and the subsequent ongoing divorce proceedings.
